In his youth, Gellert Grindelwald entered into a sexual relationship with his best friend, Albus Dumbledore.

Some orientations are: heterosexuality (attraction to people of the opposite sex), homosexuality (attraction to people of the same sex), bisexuality (attraction to two or more sexes, typically male and female) and asexuality (lack of sexual attraction or desire).
